that's because you keep posting cute profile pictures, haha. 

I only had one pseudo relationship with a douche who still owes me money to this day and never bothered to pay me back. We met in july 2009 and broke up in November 2009. I hated everything about him, I only loved him because I was desperate after years of waiting,he is 7 years older than me. He was my first proper date actually...

My second "date" was with an Egyptian man who comes yearly once or twice to Jordan. We met twice, 2 days in a row (novemeber 2010), he had to leave back to Egypt on the third day. We had dinner at 10 pm, talked and walked till 4 am. We skyped heavily for 2 months but the mutual interest had to die eventually. Long distance sucks :/

He txted last night saying he is coming on wed. I am not sure what's going to happen but I hope we get to kiss once at least lol.

After the douche dumped me (2009) I had several careless sexual encounters with strangers. Last month the obsession took over me and I was 100% positive that I carry HIV in my blood. Took the test last week and I got the results on sat. Thank God I am clean.... and I've learned my lesson.

EDIT: great thread seece! I only have one gay friend who doesn't know that I am gay so this is a good chance for me to share

Yeah first relationship I was in was with a guy who was no good and still owes me $300. I've pretty much written that off since he's not the type of man who pays anyone back. He thinks the world owes him and takes whatever whenever he can.

Tried the distance thing a few times myself thinking better to find someone who is right instead of someone who is hear right now. I soon learned though that part of being right for me is being close enough I can see them in at most a few hours.

It's rare for first time love to ever work out, you just have to learn from it and move on. Every time you get knocked it really does make you stronger and wiser, and hopefully not cynical with it! I feel like a different person after my 3rd failed relationship, and the stuff I would put up with before, I wouldn't dream of putting up with now.

Don't give up on love though, you just need to find someone who's in the same boat as you and appreciates the true meaning of what it is to be in a relationship, then you'll end up like axumblade and Truck!!

Or you can become absurdly picky like me and spend years single

Nice! And congratulations! :D

OT:

I have been single for about 1 and a half years now after a 9 month relation. My first actually and from it I learned why so many people don’t want relationships. You think you know someone and you trust them and love them with all your heart and in the end they are not worth it. All lies and mistakes that should be obvious and should not be made.

Some people see gay life as a different thing than when a woman and a man love each other. I’m not into that “open relationship” stuff and “cheating and then be forgiven” stuff.

After I broke up I found that life is soo much more fun with no guy to worry about. All that “I have to call” and “why has not replied to my msg o call yet”. Love is work and I can’t handle it and the rest of the tings in my life at the same time. I hope I can find a way to balance them both…. :P

I have only had a relationship with one guy and one girl in my life (and I'm 25 which is kind of pathetic imho, but anyway) and every time they would start complaining about that kind of stupid things I would make it perfectly clear that I can't be with someone who is worried about that kind of stuff and does not trust me. And I've always been extremely faithfull, even though I spent a lot of time apart with both of them and could have easily had random hook-ups.

Being alone makes me really sad to be honest :( though I'd rather do that than be with someone towards whom I'm not attracted or doesn't care much about me. Whenever I hear people complain about small things or having their heart broken I always get angry (like wanna switch places dude/girl?).

Unfortunately I'm only attracted to straight guys and all the gay guys I've met are quite camp (which is fine, I'm just not attracted to them). Same with my ex bf, he worshipped Madonna, Cher etc.

One thing I don't get from people who complain about being lied to or cheated on is how do they do not see that their partner is not being sincere with them. I can always tell when someone is upset with me or does not care much about me.
